With the release of 25 just a few days away, Adele has taken mercy on eager fans by revealing another brand-new track from her third album. Kick back, grab a tissue, and hit play on the very emotional "When We Were Young":
Like Adele's first new single, "Hello," "When We Were Young" is a nostalgic ballad that seems to be directed to a former lover. "It was just like a movie. It was just like a song," sings Adele, backed by a full band in a stirring live performance. "My God, this reminds me of when we were young."
Two songs down, nine to go. 25 arrives in full on November 20.
